Fundamentals of Waste Incineration and New Technologies

Comply with statutory regulations by understanding the fundamentals of waste incineration and new technologies.

This 90-minute webinar provides an overview of the roles of waste characteristics, incinerator design, and operation to comply with statutory regulations and whether additional treatments are necessary, such as air pollution control and ash treatment.

You’ll also learn the factors leading to emissions of acid gases, metals, particulate matter and incomplete combustion products and those affecting ash quality.

This course is designed for professionals who need to be familiar with waste treatment options, or are interested in learning more about incineration technology, including:

Environmental Managers

Permitting Officers

Incinerator Operators

Those considering installation of a new incinerator

Operations personnel

Those responsible for procurement of waste treatment technology

This webinar provides an overview of the roles of waste characteristics, incinerator design, and operation to comply with statutory regulations. Upon completion of the webinar, you’ll:

Understand what factors lead to emissions of acid gases, metals, particulate matter, and other products of incomplete combustion.

The knowledge you’ll gain applies to all waste incinerators, but small-scale solid waste incineration will be emphasized as in certain cases, it can be the most difficult to deal with.

Why is this topic important to environmental professionals?

Environmental professionals working within remote areas or other situations where waste treatment options may include waste incineration. This webinar provides an overview of these technologies and how you can comply with regulations.
